Bulk Rename Utility

Hi All, first time on the board.

Trying to do some basic renaming which works fine on my old version of Bulk Rename but not the latest.

'Rename' button is greyed out no matter what we try, any ideas?

Essentially we're looking to rename songs after their album title sequentially... e.g. Album_1, Album_2, Album_3

Below is how we have it set up

RegEx(1):
Replace: Album_

Numbering(10):
Mode: Suffix
Start: 1
Incr: 1

Thanks in Advance

Do you actually have at least 1 file/dir selected to perform the operation on?
Until you do, the Rename button remains grayed out.

Hi @therube, yeah we have the files highlighted (under the 'name') column that we're trying to rename but nothing changes....
Interestingly... the 'new name' column doesn't appear to be updating which suggests we're doing something wrong.
Not quite sure right as feel we're doing the same thing as we were on the old version

The checkbox next to the 'R' of a particular renaming option is checked (& outlined in red, showing that it is enabled)?

Your RegEx: is not valid (or at least would not affect a change), as you have it written, so it alone would not "engage" the Rename button - though with 10:Numbering also selected, Rename should be available (even if RegEx: does nothing in this case).

Ok we've made some progress on this.

Regex no longer works for what we're trying to do.
We used to leave the 'match' field blank, then 'replace' with the new file name.
This no longer works as it requires something to 'match' (and our original file names are too varied to easily match).

Essentially, we're looking to remove the original file name, rename it, and number sequentially.

Original file names:
I Will Always Love You
The Sun Shines forever
When Will it Rain.

Renamed file names:
Album_01
Album_02
Album_02

Is there an easy way of doing this?

Thanks in advance, really appreciate your help with this

2:Name -> Remove

7:Add -> Prefix: Album_

10:Numbering -> Mode: Suffix, Pad: 2

amazing! Thank you so much @therube
